This introductory course will provide you with a basis for understanding crime, criminal behaviour and criminal justice. The tutor will present a range of psychological theories, viewpoints, and case studies relating to why offenders commit certain crimes. We will also cover issues relating to the imprisonment and treatment of offenders and will consider society’s view of offending behaviour.
